As the operations manager, you prefer to keep a constant workforce and production level, absorbing variations in demand through inventory excesses and shortages. Demand not met is carried over to the following month. Assuming you currently have 23 workers, what is the shortage cost for May

Respuesta :

Answer:

Shortage cost for May is $71,000

Explanation:

The expected demand for the month of May is 5000 units.

Shortages for month are carried to next month.

Shortage cost is $10 per month.

(Working days per month x hrs/day x # of workers)

20 days * 8 hours * 23 workers = 3680

Jan :  3680 - 3500 = +180

Feb : 3680 + 180 - 4500 = -640

Mar : 3680 - 640 -6000  = -2980

Apr : 3680 - 2980 -6500 = 5780

May : 3680 - 5780 -5000 = 7100
